My name is Gizmo & Mittens (bonded pair)!

Thanks for your interest in a pet from A.R.F.! If you see a pet here, they are still available for adoption and you should apply through our adoption application on our website at  https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/  

Gizmo (brown and white with short fur) and Mittens (black and white with long fur) are an 8-year-old bonded pair of professional window watchers, expert couch warmers, and full-time snugglers looking for a new forever home after their beloved owner passed away. Thinking about getting a weighted blanket to manage the holiday stress? Look no further than Mittens, a glorious 16-pound queen who would love to lay on top of you for all of your favorite activities. While she is reserved at first, she quickly melts into a purring puddle who adores being brushed, petted and doted on. Gizmo is a little more playful of the two and likes to supervise what’s going on – she gives sweet little chirps and lots of kisses to let you know how happy she is.

Together, these girls are the perfect blend of calm and quirky. They will do just about anything for quality time near a sunny window, watching birds, squirrels, and the whole neighborhood like it’s their favorite show. They’ve been through a lot and were especially terrified in the loud shelter, but in their foster home they have absolutely blossomed. They’ve adapted to life with kids and have shown they may be tolerant of cat-savvy dogs who understand that the ladies are in charge. 

Because of all they have experienced, Gizmo and Mittens are looking for a quieter home who will treasure them as the bonded pair they are and let them settle in at their own pace. If you have a cozy space, a sunny window and room in your heart for a living weighted blanket and her kissy little sidekick, these two would love the chance to be your loyal companions. With a bit of patience and a lot of love, you’ll soon find yourself wondering how you ever managed without your own personal snuggle squad, supervising squad and bird-watching committee curled up right beside you.

Both cats are micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations,  spayed, and litter box trained.

Their combined adoption fee is $270 ($135x2).  If you are interested in meeting  Gizmo & Mittrens,  please fill out our Online Application today!  

Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.

Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation! We are  based in Wheaton, IL and conduct adoption events in the DuPage County area. If you are interested in adopting one of our pets, please submit an adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ 

Adoption appointments are scheduled based on the order of applications received, so submit your application early! Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions or schedule meetings until your application has been approved. More information about our adoption process can be found on our website here: https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/

As an all-volunteer, foster home-based organization, A.R.F. Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit our animals. Please visit https://www.arf-il.org/events/ for a list of our upcoming adoption events. 

Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop!
